Hahaha... The title might sound selfish but I do believe that my actions are justified. The pond adjacent to our land has long attracted strangers to try their luck with fishing. Frankly, we are not annoyed by that, it's just that some people do not respect things that does not belong to them. Once I saw a passer-by kicking the plants that took me time and money to plant. Some others ignorantly hang out ('lepak') on our land and put their belongings under our water tank. Most recently, somebody drove their car across my sisters' land and parked behind our house.
I don't know about you but these things make me uncomfortable. Safety is also an issue especially during times when nobody is home, or when my wife and I are at work and the kids are alone with the maids.
Of course my long-term plan is to build a proper perimeter fencing and hopefully all the problems would go away. However, that will have to be delayed due to the cost. My wife and I have discussed and decided that when we build it, it has to be of good quality and long-lasting. We are hoping that our plan can be realised by the end of this year or perhaps early next year.
As for now, this is what I did...

At the entrance of my sisters' land, I put up some wooden poles. I'm planning to add some more all around the land with barb wires attached.
Along the border separating their land from ours, I planted some saplings. Long term goal; they will grow bigger and form a hedge.
